The promised outcome was defensive: preventing Biden-era federal defunding of Arizona's National Guard. The supplied evidence shows continued federal National Guard funding, Arizona Guard military construction funding, active staffing, and no documented federal defunding or abandonment. Because Gosar remained in federal office during the relevant campaign and congressional period, and the outcome occurred within the same continuing office context, this counts as delivered rather than merely attempted.

Arizona National Guard funding continued in the enacted FY2024 federal military-construction tables, including Arizona Army and Air National Guard projects, and recent official listings show the Guard remains federally staffed. On the evidence provided, the feared defunding did not occur during Gosar's current term, so the promise is best treated as fulfilled.
